Plymouth, IN VJP Test Results (March 22 & 23, 2025)

by Lyndon Roeller April 19, 2025

Another successful VJP is in the books.

The Great Lakes Chapter GLC was fortunate enough to have access to St Joseph's Valley Beagle Club in Plymouth, IN to hold our VJP test March 22-23, 2025.

The weather was forecasted to be cold, windy and rainy. We were fortunate enough to finish up each day of testing before the rain started , however we dealt with the cold, windy weather both days of testing.

The wood stove inside the club house offered a warm, welcome retreat to thaw out during lunch as well as at the end of the test. We were fortunate enough to have warm breakfast and warm lunch graciously provided by fellow GLC members (Max Lenhard and Kathleen Gannon and Ivan and Dawn Berkenstock). We were treated to warm, delicious meals made from various wild game species. THANK YOU!!

Kathleen Gannon with her pup, Eloise vom Kompass put on an impressive display of natural ability and scored 74 points. Eloise vom Kompass also holds the top VJP score for 2025 in GLC. So she will have the honors of holding the traveling Suchensieger Trophy for 2025. CONGRATULATIONS!!

Ten successful handler/ dog teams were evaluated thanks to numerous GLC members stepping up to help put on another successful VJP!
